It was always a possibility ^^
Still very cool, and even cooler to imagine it could had been real.

That it it is.
What I find even cooler, if it is AI-generated, is that the AI had to have an idea of what bottles look like and an idea of what a scorpion looks like, and then to reconcile those two ideas in a way that looks realistic, plausible and creative, which is an extremely impressive feat for an unthinking algorithm or machine
A house partially hangs over a cliff edge in Trimingham, England, on Monday, April 8, following rapid coastal erosion.
The east coast is particularly prone to coastal erosion, though the size of the country doesn't actually change that much, as much of the eroded soil ends up being washed up on the west coast (if I remember my geography lessons correctly).
Do they evacuate people in these places, or let them take their chances?
I don't know the details involved in home ownership issues, but houses that are in imminent risk of subsidence due to cliff erosion are stripped down as much as possible and the inhabitants put up elsewhere.
The house would be condemned as unsafe to live in, and the people forced to relocate.

It does sound excessive, but a good place to start would be to see where the website is hosted. If the website's host seems reasonable toward privacy, check the privacy policy to see how your data would get used. In this case, it appears that Amazon is the website's host and I would suggest immediately giving up on sharing your personal information with such a leading Surveillance Capitalist.

Okay, let's see if I can find an image. It was in a Deity Game of the Month game a few months back as Montezuma (light green). Mehmed (dark green)'s army showed up in my core territory on his was to attack the remainder of Alexander (light blue)'s Cities. Mehmed was the tech leader and was soon on his way to unlocking a Unit upgrade from Knights to Cuirassiers. He also had Huayna (yellow) as his Vassal.
The following composite screenshot represented a huge wake-up call, with a stack of Mehmed's 109 Units plus other smaller stacks that would soon become unstoppable with the Deity AI's nearly free Unit upgrades.
With a massive logistical repositioning of my troops, additional Drafting and Whipping of troops, desperate tech trades, nearly unheard of whipping of Castles in border Cities, and cashing in on a Great Merchant which I'd been saving for use with a Golden Age, I managed to declare war on Mehmed and take down his armies while they were caught in the fields.
My border Cities held their own for a few turns before I lost two of them in a counter-attack, but due to having focused on building Cultural Buildings in those Cities in prior turns, they stayed in Revolt with nearby Cultural Borders still owned by me for long enough for me to retake the Cities, despite facing higher-tech Units. I earned a Cease Fire with no territorial losses and took some diplomatic penalties, but the toughest opponent's military forces had been decimated in the process.
I no longer see a way to upload a file, such as a ZIP file, to the CFC forums. Do the forums no longer support such file uploads? Anyway, you can create your own Windows Registry file. Put the text which is inside of the spoiler tags into a file and give the file a name with a REG file extension, such as DisableCoPilot.regYou would likely have to be logged in as an Administrator account on Windows to use the file, or perhaps you might get by with knowing the Username and Password of an Administrator account. Double-clicking on the file that you make should give you a couple of warning prompts that you will choose to accept and the changes will get merged into your Windows Registry.

A car seat for a baby from the 1950s. It's a miracle any Baby Boomers survived childhood.

I never saw a car seat while growing up. There were four of us kids and we sat, laydown or stood up in every place it was possible: front seat, backseat, floors, back window ledges, and luggage section at the back of a station wagon. I was never in an accident (until I started driving 
) Way back then there were many fewer cars and nobody drove as fast as they do now. The interstates were new and didn't go everywhere yet so most long distance driving was done on two lane roads.

Owl cupcakes. Not AI. There's a video showing how to make them.
